The Hermit Poet

(Apologies for those eagerly waiting for the issue — I tried to finish it last night, but layout was taking longer than expected and I had a late start on the issue thanks to my semester-end paper on Marianne Moore’s relationship to Chinese aesthetics).

Anyway, the issue is up and full of delightful things.
